DVARP

Calculates the population variance of the values in a data set created from a condition.

Syntax:

DVARP( range, condition )

Returns the population variance of all the values in the range for which the corresponding condition is satisfied.

Formula:

DVARP, σ² = ( ni 1n (xi2) − (i 1n xi)2 )  ∕  n2

where n is the number of selected values and xi is the i‑th value from the selection.

Example:

DVARP(A1:A15, B1:B15>0)

returns the population variance of the cells in the range A1:A15 whose equivalents in the range B1:B15 are greater than zero.

See <DAVG for more examples of how to use the condition to control which cells are included.
